Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Review

This Tropical Traditions
Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is a truly unrefined coconut oil. This
coconut oil is made on Mt. Banahaw and surrounding areas from organic coconuts. Coconuts are
used fresh (within 24-48 hours of harvest) from small family farms on Mt.
Banahaw and other rural places in Quezon Province, the coconut capital of the
Philippines. Only the highest quality coconuts are hand-picked from each
harvest. The volcanic soil of Mt. Banahaw makes these organic coconuts some of
the most nutritionally rich coconuts in the world! Testing done in independent laboratories
reveals higher levels of phenolic antioxidants than other coconut oils. The
fresh coconut meat is shredded (wet milled), and then cold-pressed using the water
from inside the coconuts to make coconut milk. The milk is then allowed to sit
for about half a day, while the oil naturally separates from the heavier water.
The oil is then filtered from the curds (coconut solids). No chemical or
high-heat treatment is used, and this oil contains no trans fatty
acids. We do NOT mass produce this oil. It is made by families who are
coconut farmers using old-fashioned traditional methods that have been used in
the Philippines for hundreds of years. Our coconut trees and family producers
are certified organic according to strict USDA standards. The families
who produce the oil are also trained according to GMP (Good Manufacturing
Practice) standards and re-certified each year. This high-grade Virgin Coconut
Oil has a long shelf life due to the high antioxidant properties. The Gold Label
Standard is our highest standard for Virgin Coconut Oil. Read more.

You can use this coconut oil for alot of cooking items. You can use this to fry your foods in or melt it and use it in place of butter. We really like this and will continue to use it to make different items. If you are interested in hearing more about coconut oil recipes click Here.
